Which of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by many microbial control agents the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a funciton of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death rate all of these statements are TRUE few antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population that dies per minute is typically constant over time
Which of the following would you expect if you let surfaces stay wet for 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes? A A smaller percentage of the microbes would be killed. B Time does not play a role in how successful a disinfectant treatment is, so a 5 minute application will kill the same percent of the total population as a 10 minute application. C The germicide would remove just as many total microbes; 10 minutes is definitely more time than is necessary.
For long-term storage of microbes that will be may be revived and grown later, what temperatures are best? Group of answer choices between -2 and 4 °C above 70 °C between -10 to -20 °C below -70 °C
What statement describes the danger of using heavy metals to control microbe growth? Group of answer choices Heavy metals promote biofilm formation in humans. Heavy metals stimulate some microbes to reproduce even more. Heavy metals can assist with virus attachment to host cells. Heavy metals are toxic to many organisms besides microbes.

When food leftovers are stored in a refrigerator, how does this help prevent food borne illnesses? Group of answer choices Low temperatures deactivate any toxins that might be produced by microbes. Low temperatures inhibit the metabolism and growth of microbes. Low temperatures disrupt microbe membranes and kill any microbes that are present. Low temperatures prevent microbes from forming biofilms.
